Nan Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he was seen through at first sight.

She laughed dryly.

Just then, Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu came over from outside and whispered to Nan Yan: "Madam, let's guard the master, go and eat something."

Ran Xiaoyu said again: "Madam, you haven't slept all night, right?"

“…”

"We need to have some rest."

Last night, when entering this Taoist temple, although Nan Yan was in a panic, he still took a lot of attention from his busy schedule and secretly reminded Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu.

Hide your identity.

After all, they are not completely clear about who these Taoist priests are.

So, she only told these people that the one on the bed was her husband, and Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu were their followers.

I won't mention anything else.

Seeing them coming, Nan Yan was a little relieved. In addition, she didn't sleep all night and didn't touch her teeth. She was indeed hungry and sleepy.

So he ordered them to take good care of it, and walked out with the Taoist priest.

This was the first time she had seen this Taoist temple clearly.

This Taoist temple, deep in the island on Xingluo Lake, looks beautiful and quiet, and some of the houses are even very elegantly built.

Strangely, this Taoist temple was cultivated on the island, so it was impossible for it to have any incense.

Where did they get the money?

The Taoist priests who came and went also seemed very leisurely and natural.

Countless question marks popped up in Nanyan's heart.

After a while, they walked to the dining hall.

Nanyan followed the old Taoist to get some food, which were naturally vegetarian, including vegetables and tofu.

Sitting on both sides of a table, Nanyan looked around, there were only two of them in the canteen.

She whispered: "Master..."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Madam, I am called Master Shangshan."

“Master Shang Shan…”

Nan Yan murmured these three words.

The highest good is like water.

The Tao Te Ching is a Taoist classic, and his Taoist name comes from the sentence "The highest good is like water, and water benefits all things without competing."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I haven't had time to thank Master Shang Shan for saving his life last night."

The master of the Supreme Master smiled slightly.

He is about sixty or seventy years old, but he is agile and free-spirited, and has no sense of aging at this age.

Especially those eyes, as smart as a mirror.

Nan Yan said again: "Where are the others?"

"Oh, they're still in morning class."

“We came so early”

"It's okay," said Master Shangshan with a smile: "I happened to have something to say, and I want to ask my wife."

Nanyan's heart was slightly raised.

His spirit immediately became alert, but he still smiled on his face: "What are you going to ask me?"

Master Shangshan also looked at her with a smile.

"Who are you?"

Nan Yan's heart hopped slightly.

Last night, she reminded Ye Zheng and the others to hide their identities, but obviously, their appearance was not a normal thing, and it has aroused the suspicion of these people.

So, early in the morning, the Master of Supreme Harmony came to ask.

Nan Yan forced a smile and said, "I, my husband is a businessman. He brought me and the people at home to visit here."

"play?"

Master Shangshan raised his gray eyebrows slightly.

That look clearly writes these three words

Don't believe it.

Nan Yan felt a little embarrassed. This lie was too unpredictable. Who would have visited this place that had not been marked on the map?

Besides, Zhu Feng, how could he look like a businessman?

But the words had already been spoken and she could not recycle them. Fortunately, although Master Shangshan obviously did not believe her, he did not ask questions.

He smiled and said softly as water, "Since that's the case, I won't ask more questions."

After saying that, he lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.

Nanyan felt even more embarrassed.

The meaning of Master Shangshan’s words is clearly that since you can’t ask the truth, I won’t ask more questions.

It's really not good to lie to monks.

Nan Yan lowered his head awkwardly and ate.

After a while, the other Taoist priests had morning class and came to this place for dinner. They were very quiet. Although there were many people, there were no noise.

Nan Yan was eating and felt that the Taoist priests looked at him with curious eyes.

She thought for a while and hesitated and said softly: "Master Taoist, aren't there anyone here in your Taoist temple?"

Master Shangshan said: "Of course."

"Then, why do you need to build a Taoist temple here?"

“Because it’s here, it’s here.”

“…”

This is very profound.

Nanyan couldn't handle it for a while.

She thought for a while and said, "Then, I want to ask, who were the people who attacked us last night? Do the master know?"

Master Shangshan looked at her with a smile and said, "It seems that you are here to visit, but you didn't find out in advance what people and things are there."

Nan Yan smiled awkwardly again.

Master Shangshan said: "Those people are water bandits."

"Shui Bandits?"

"Yes, the water bandits in Tiangang Lianwu."

"Tiangang serial dock?"

Nanyan's brows furrowed when she heard this.

There are still bandits in this place?

Master Shangshan said: "In fact, this Xingluo Lake was not uncommon in the past. On the contrary, the waterways in this place are well-connected and the merchants are coming and going, which is very prosperous."

“…”

"But later, due to some changes, the place gradually declined."

Nan Yan frowned: "What happened?"

Master Shangshan glanced at her and said calmly: "After the founding of the country, Emperor Gao once fought a great battle with his enemies here."

Nanyan took a breath of air conditioning.

She remembered.

At the beginning, the Central Plains was occupied by the Chinese people, and many people raised up trouble and fought against each other. In addition to Emperor Gao, there were several large forces.

Before, when dealing with Chinese people, they were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side.

However, the Chinese people were expelled from the Central Plains, and they became contenders of the highest power.

In the end, of course, the Gao Emperor defeated them.

Master Shangshan said calmly: "The Gao Emperor defeated those people, but that great war did not end there."

“…”
